  1. To dip or plunge into or under a liquid. In all cases where the simple envelopment of the object, only, is concerned, no word, probably, is more unexceptionable than merse. (1) This word is of common use in cases where an object is placed in a fluid, semi-fluid, or any easily penetrable material. (2) It depends upon no form of act. (3) It is without limit of duration. J. W. Dale, Classic Baptism, p. 131.
